'rooL-HaNnLE-FASTENING DEVICE.

Application led J'uly 9, 1924, Serial No. 725,120, and in Germany July 3, 1.923.v

This invention relates to a tool handle fastening device, for instance to a kind of Fig. '4 apart-view on a reduced scale,

two plates placed upon each other and the handle, and

Fig., a perspective view on. an enlarged scale with the two iaps stamped out. l

The 'head a of the rake and ,thehandle means of two connectin platesdof semicircular shape, vproduced. y stamping out therefrom a socket being in the cross section of a semicircular shape and riveted at f, and the two flaps of thelower plate d are likewise so bent and alsoriveted at f.

-In order to increase the strengthl of the connecting plates the are provided with strengthening ribs g, formed by pressing.

I The two plates d are placed against each other with the sockets pointing 1n opposite direction and then inserted with their narrow ends into a slit e of the rake handle a and fastened thereto by means of a screw i or similar means. The sockets. in this manner, irml 'and securely grip the two halves of the'en of the handle.

The head a of therake is also provided with a slit .k, into which the wide and perforated end of the connectin plate d is pushed in such a way that t e perforartions of the connectin plates al'coincide with `the perforations or the prongs b in the head.

The rigid connection between the head and the connecting plates is then simply eiiected by screwing in the prongs b or by fastening them in another suitable manner.

I claim:

A tool handle fastening device comprising a handle with a slit in its lower end andv a head having also a slit, two connecting plates lying one upon the other and fitted in the slits and each provided with a socket offlaps cutout from the vconnecting plates and which are bent and riveted for the reception of the two parts of the end of the handle, substantially as described.
